I'm on antidepressants, before I started, i was severely suicidal. The medication takes the edge off and constant depression, but I still feel like I cannot make decisions in worry of making the wrong one.
Any advice from someone who has felt the same way?

I have felt all these things, except possibly, over sensitive. Looking back, I only started feeling this way after severe financial stresses--and when you are worried about your children's future it causes more anxiety. I think medications can make your emotions go up and down. My daughter gave the best advice--don't make decisions based on emotions. Zedsdead--you have been through some stressful, emotional times. Use your emotions to motivate yourself to make a plan but do not take any actions (unless you are reacting to danger) until your emotions have calmed down. I have always tried to "sleep on it" before making final plans/ taking a significant action.
